System and method for processing emergency alerts and responses
First Claim
1. An emergency alert system for use with a plurality of individuals in a pre-definable are, each individual having a mobile communication device and each mobile communication device in communication with a communication network, the system comprising:
- a non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing information that includes machine-readable processor-executable instruction;
at least one data processor that executes the instructions stored in the non-transitory, machine-readable medium that enable each data processor to;
account for each individual within the pre-definable area during a period of time;
identify any individual not within the pre-definable area during the period of time; and
aggregate and compile individual location data; and
a plurality of customized templates, each template usable by the system for generating and transmitting at least one communication alert signal and for aggregating and managing any communication responses received from some portion of the plurality of individuals, the templates adapted to enable each data processor to;
generate and transmit the at least one communication alert to the plurality of individuals;
receive response signals to the at least one communication alert from some portion of the plurality of individuals;
use data contained in the response signals to identify each responding individual;
use data contained in the response signals to identify a geographic location of each responding individual;
compare the geographic location of each responding individual to the pre-defined area; and
for any comparison in which the geographic location of a corresponding individual is located within the pre-defined area, store the identity and geographic location of the corresponding individual in a first database, otherwisefor any comparison in which the geographic location of a corresponding individual is not located within the pre-defined area, store the identity and geographic location of the corresponding individual in a second database.

Abstract
An emergency alert system that facilitates communication with groups and/or individuals (e.g., residents, tenants, inmates, passengers, students, teachers, employees, public officials, service members, hospitality guests, patients, and event spectators) in a pre-definable area such as a geographic area, a contained structure, and a geo-fence area via each individual'"'"'s mobile communication device while in communication with a communication network, the system including a non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing information that includes machine-readable, processor-executable instructions and a data processor that executes the instructions stored in the non-transitory, machine-readable medium. In some implementations, the data processor is adapted to account for each individual within the pre-definable area during a period of time, identify any individual not within the pre-definable area during the period of time, and aggregate and compile individual location and accountability data.

13. A method of alerting a plurality of individuals in a pie-definable area of an existing condition, each individual having a mobile communication device and each mobile communication device in communication with a communication network, the method comprising:
-
providing a non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing information that includes machine-readable, processor-executable instructions, at least one data processor that executes the instructions stored in the non-transitory, and a plurality of customized templates, each template usable by the data processor for generating and transmitting at least one communication alert signal and for aggregating and managing any communication responses received from some portion of the plurality of individuals; accounting for, by the at least one data processor, each individual within the pre-definable area during a period of time; identifying, by the at least one data processor, any individual not within the pie-definable area during the period of time; and aggregating and compiling, by the at least one data processor, individual location data, wherein the templates enable each data processor in; generating and transmitting the at least one communication alert to the plurality of individuals; receiving response signals to the at least one communication alert from some portion of the plurality of individuals; sing data contained in the response signals to identify each responding individual; using data contained in the response signals to identity a geographic location of each responding individual; comparing the geographic location of each responding individual to the pre-defined area; and for any comparison in which the geographic location of a corresponding individual is located within the pre-defined area, storing the identity and geographic location of the corresponding individual in a first database, otherwise for any comparison in which the geographic location of a corresponding individual is not located within the pre-defined area, storing the identity and geographic location of the corresponding individual in a second database. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
